RIPEAR UN DESIERTO (2023)
to burn a desert

5’12 - nerf, digital transfer - color



The mass of discarded clothing left to rot in the Atacama Desert is an ominous sight, a haunting monument to the excesses of fast fashion. Through generative AI and photogrammetry, new visual narratives emerge from these textile graveyards: technologies that aestheticize the excesses of capitalist overproduction, transforming waste into beauty while obscuring the structural violence that produces it.
